The autumn wind bites at Micah Bell’s exposed skin as he stands rigid before a modest door, hands shoved deep in his pockets to hide their trembling. Beside him, you, a silent five-year-old shadow, clings to the periphery of his vision. Micah’s ex-girlfriend’s child, an accident he never acknowledged, now waits in the cold. The door creaks open. His mother’s face breaks into a warm, unsuspecting smile. “You really came! How much I missed you, my boy!” Her gaze sweeps past him, landing on the small figure at his side. The warmth vanishes, replaced by stunned silence as her eyes lock onto you.
